Camera
Shot: The first shot is a close up of a hand with a gun coming from the closet to show the extremeness of the situation from the start. There is then a shot/reverse/shot to show the two characters confronting each other.
Movement: The camera movement is very simple only using tilting movement to follow the characters as they move around the move.
Distance: There is never much distance from the characters as it must focus on their emotions
Angles: The angle used throughout the video is an eye-level angle to convey a sense of realism.
Editing
The editing in the video is limited to the ending fade and the changes of camera position because it is supposed to be treated like television soaps.
Mise en Scene
Props: The props used in this video are the gun which shows the outrageousness of the situation and the wig which gives more information on what happened before the scene.
Lighting: The lighting is quite natural as it comes from outside again conveying realism and the time of day.
Costume: The costumes are normal as R Kelly just wears a suit, which he wore at the club he went to explained in the lyrics.
Acting: The acting involved the actors miming the lyrics which are played over the video, while they add actions to them making it a visual experience.
Positioning: The way the characters are positioned on-screen are usually in the middle, and if they move the camera usually follows them.
Sound
Genre: RnB
Volume: The volume of the music is loud as to cover each of the effects such as the phone ringing, and gun shot. The music also gets louder when it nears the end as the story escalates and becomes more “juicy”.
Rhythm: The music itself is more to carry on the story that is being told, and to give the lyrics a beat.
